About Santa Fe

Santa Fe, New Mexico is like no other place in the United States. The region was home to Native Americans from 1200 to the early 1400′s, and then fell under six different governments over the next 400 years.

All these influences and cultures have blended together to become what locals affectionately call “The City Different.” New Mexico’s capital city is famous for her unique art, architecture and savory cuisine, and is home to 68,000 residents. With an elevation of 7,000 feet above sea level, Santa Fe is located at the base of the southern Rocky Mountains in north-central New Mexico.

During our workshop, we’ll spend time with many local experts, including artists, chefs and local businessmen, who will share their love and knowledge of Santa Fe.

Lodging

La Fonda on the Plaza, a historic inn located in the heart of downtown Santa Fe, will provide comfortable accommodations at a discounted rate for workshop participants. La Fonda can trace its roots back nearly 200 years. It offers the highest contemporary standards of hospitality along with Old World Santa Fe charm.

"Mount Evans" Rocky Mountains, Colorado, USA

"Mount Evans, Colorado"

Mount Evans is a 14,000 foot / 4,300 meter peak on the front range of the Colorado that is visible for most of the people living in the Denver metro area. It is one of the few peaks anywhere that you can drive your car to the approximate summit and then scramble the few remaining meters to the actual summit to gaze across the dramatic vistas of the Rockies. Mount Evans is one of fifty-four, 14,000 foot peaks in Colorado and it was my first "Fourteeener" when I was a child vacationing in Colorado with my parents.

Big Horn Sheep and Dahl Mountain Goats are often sighted on the slopes as your rise above tree line. Mount Evans is a great day trip from Denver and/or if you are in impeccable physical condition it is hard bicycle climb followed by an exhilarating zoom down.

This photo was taken while I was teaching a photo workshop which on the whole is unusual as I usually can't concentrate on my own photography while teaching.
